Keeping Me Alive

     Cm        Bb
  Oh I've been wondering
Ab               Eb
  What you would look like
Cm                     Bb
  If you could be here today
            Cm            Bb
  Would you smile in that pretty voice
Ab           Eb           Cm               Bb
  Still make all the boys wanna be in my place
Cm                   Bb
  Would you laugh at all my jokes?
Ab            Eb
  Let me hide under your coat
Cm                         Bb
  And let me know its all okay

[Chorus]
[0:48]
              Ab        Eb
  It's been a long hard seven years
      Bb         Cm
  And I've cried so many tears
Ab     Eb            Bb
  By myself alone at midnight
                 Ab        Eb
  And I've had a long damn time to grow
      Bb      Cm
  And oh, the places I'll go
Ab                  Eb               Bb
  With you and this song keeping me alive

[Verse 2]
[1:23]
             Cm               Bb
  So can you tell me what its like
Ab        Eb
  Can you fly
Cm                      Bb
  And tell Jesus I said hi
         Cm            Bb
  Been a while since I read his book
Ab                Eb
  And deep down I know I should
Cm                                     Bb
  But most nights I'm way too drunk to try
          Cm            Bb
  Can you take away the bottle
      Ab              Eb
  And pray for my arrival
Cm                           Bb
  When I can meet you in the sky


[Chorus]
[1:58]
              Ab        Eb
  It's been a long hard seven years
      Bb         Cm
  And I've cried so many tears
Ab          Eb      Bb
  By myself alone at midnight
                 Ab        Eb
  And I've had a long damn time to grow
      Bb      Cm
  And oh, the places I'll go
Ab                  Eb               Bb
  With you and this song keeping me alive
